Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Cabrera had started at third base in the Yankees' last four games, but he looks like he could move into more of a utility role now that Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) has returned from the injured list. With Stanton set to occupy the designated hitter spot in most games and with Alex Verdugo, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto likely to serve as the Yankees' primary outfield configuration, the newly acquired Jazz Chisholm looks poised to get steady playing time at third base. Chisholm hasn't played third base during his time in the professional ranks, but the Yankees will break him in at the position Monday while Cabrera moves to the bench.

Chisholm will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Phillies.

Chisholm started in center field in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Red Sox, but with Giancarlo Stanton's (hamstring) return from the injured list Monday creating a logjam in the outfield, Chisholm looks like he could see most of his playing time at the hot corner moving forward. The 26-year-old hasn't played the position at all during his time in the professional ranks, but the Yankees believe that his athleticism, arm strength and prior experience at second base and shortstop can help him make a relatively smooth transition to the hot corner. At the very least, Chisholm is expected to provide a notable offensive upgrade over Oswaldo Cabrera and DJ LeMahieu, who had been sharing time at third base lately.

Madris will start at first base and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Guardians.

He'll be included in the lineup for a fifth straight contest after going 6-for-14 with a double, a walk, two runs and an RBI over the prior four games. The Tigers may not have an everyday role available for Madris once the likes of Parker Meadows (hamstring) and Riley Greene (hamstring) return from the 10-day injured list, though Detroit could find ways to get Madris' bat in the lineup so long as he's running hot at the dish.

The Royals recalled Klein from Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

Klein has permitted four runs over 5.2 relief innings during his time with the big club this season. The right-hander will operate in low-leverage spots out of the bullpen.

The Royals placed Schreiber on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right knee patella tendon injury.

Schreiber suffered the injury during a relief appearance Sunday against the Cubs. The Royals haven't provided a timeline for Schreiber's return from the IL, but he'll be out of commission for at least two weeks. Will Klein was recalled from Triple-A Omaha to replace Schreiber in the bullpen.

Perez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Perez will get a breather for the first time since July 13, when the Tigers' played their penultimate game before the All-Star break. He had opened the Tigers' second-half schedule with a .786 OPS through his first seven contests, but he'll hit the bench after going hitless in 12 at-bats during the club's three-game series with Minnesota over the weekend.

The Red Sox recalled Wingenter from Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

He'll join the 26-man active roster and the bullpen as a replacement for Greg Weissert, who was optioned to Worcester. Wingenter surrendered three runs over one inning in his lone appearance with the Red Sox earlier this month.

Rogers is out of the lineup Monday against the Guardians.

Rogers had started behind the plate in three of the Tigers' last four games, but he'll be back on the bench for the series opener with Cleveland. Even after the Tigers traded fellow catcher Carson Kelly away to the Rangers on Sunday, Rogers could find himself as the No. 2 backstop for Detroit. The Tigers promoted Dillon Dingler from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, and he'll be put to work right away as the team's starting catcher. Like Rogers, Dingler is regarded as a glove-first catcher, but he might bring more offensive upside to the table after breaking out with a .938 OPS over 301 plate appearances at Toledo this season.

Westbrook is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Westbrook had occupied the keystone in seven of the Red Sox's last eight games, but his surge in playing time was mostly fueled by Boston facing a schedule that was heavy on left-handed pitching. The 29-year-old still looks to be stuck in the short side of a platoon at second base with David Hamilton, who will cover the position Monday while the Mariners send right-hander Logan Gilbert to the bump.

The Red Sox optioned Weissert to Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Weissert has struggled over the last month, giving up 17 runs across 12.2 innings covering his last 11 relief appearances. He'll be moved off the active roster to clear a spot for Trey Wingenter.
